CTBC Flying Oyster return to the LoL World Championship stage after a disappointing performance last year, when the Taiwanese squad crashed out of the group stage with just one win. Their next opponent, DetonatioN FocusMe, had it even worse, as they couldn’t make it to the main stage and ended their run in the Play-In knockout stage.
LoL betting sites have priced CTBC as heavy favourites for this match, which doesn’t make much sense considering DFM are not that much weaker team. It seems like teams’ rankings are based purely on the perceived strength of the regions. Even though the LoL Japan League (LJL) is not a strong league, Vietnam Championship Series (VCS) teams haven’t accomplished much more internationally.
This is the first match for both teams in over a month and on a new patch, which should lead to some volatility. And even though CTBC Flying Oyster field better individual talent, the offered LoL betting odds on DetonatioN FocusMe to win one map are too good to pass on.

TEAM BDS vs TEAM WHALES oL BETTING & MATCH DETAIL |

Team BDS eased past the Golden Guardians in the Worlds Qualifying Series and entered the Play-In stage as one of the main favourites to reach the next stage. Even though this is a flawed team that likely won’t make it far in the tournament, Team BDS are still a class above Team Whales, and the offered LoL betting odds reflect that.
Team Whales are the No. 2 seed from Vietnam, which is nothing to sneeze at; however, the VCS is a much weaker league than the LoL EMEA Championship, which gives Team BDS a significant edge in this series. On the other hand, Team Whales’ aggressive playstyle can cause problems for Team BDS.
Individually, Team BDS are stronger than Team Whales, but that might not help if the underdogs force Team BDS to play their game. BDS can look good sometimes, but this team is ineffective when games don’t go their way early.
A bet on Team Whales to win one map isn’t a bad choice, but we prefer over 23.5 kills on both maps at $1.83.
